NUW's credit quality breakdown (the share of holdings rated AAA through CCC and below) is published on the fund's factsheet. Higher-quality (investment-grade) funds yield less but carry less default risk than high-yield / junk bond funds. ### What is the yield to maturity of NUW?

NUW's strategy (current expense ratio 0.75%) is different from a broad-market index tracker like VOO, so its fee belongs to a different cohort.
